  • We were lucky to be one of the first to ride the new 2022 Triumph Speed Triple RS, so we hired our own track and gave it to Chris.

    If Chris is doing the review, then I will watch, regardless of the bike. Really appreciate his down to earth and often funny style. Certainly one of the top 5 motorcycle reviewers that I constantly watch. Thanks mate, solid review as usual.

      @@BikeWorldTVshow Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high ,
      Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4...
      I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ).
      I love your style of reviewing, and love how you are more of a enthusiast and less of a reviewer! Exactly what we need .
      I'm gonna get a trident 660 next or this. Currently riding a cycle after selling my R1😂

    From all the UK-based CZcamsr, Journo reviews I‘ve seen so far yours is the one I enjoyed listening. Landed on earth talk. Not full of superlatives and service to Triumph words you can google and seeing being mentioned by the same people in the same way just for every older gen bike when it was tested as new! And well done referring to the state of your tires as testimony of how good it works out of the box, think this should be done more often really. Thanks

Maybe the reason I got to 50 years old alive, being so enthusiastic about the sensation of speed and freedom was giving up the sport bikes and got into the sport cars. It’s very good. But not the same. I can’t help to be hopelessly in love every time I see one of those exciting bikes. Be safe!

    Great review, good job!
    I owned the 1050 rs and now the 1200 rs and the suspension is perfect on roads in good condition but if they are not they feel hard. I just changed tires, a friend recommended the CONTIRACE ATTACK 2 STREET and I have to say that with this type of tire the problem is over. I never thought that a tire would influence the suspension setting so much. To those of you who have the 1200, try another tire with a softer casing, it does not have to be continental, although I doubt that I will mount another tire again and I have tried supercorsa, s21, TT, rs10 ..... but none that works better with the suspension. my speed 1200 is now better than the speed 1050 rs

    The Speed Triple was worldwide everyone's inc every journo's naked/hooligan/ street fighter for over 10 years. Prolly 15 years.
    Won every group test etc etc.
    Then along came the Tuono and changed everything forever.
    This class has never been the same since.
